Haba XL Basic Building Block Set

This giant set of wood building blocks will enable your child to build anything in their imagination. It is suitable from a beginner to your budding expert architect. Playing with this set will help educate them in the laws of structural engineering and also stimulates spacial thinking. Discover and create new shapes using these blocks that are made of solid, natural, untreated beech wood. The pieces are packed in a reusable fabric bag that makes it easy to store and transport the blocks.

Ages: 1-8Includes: 102 pieces

Shipping Note: This item ships via FedEx Ground within contiguous United States only. Cannot be shipped to AK/HI, PO boxes, US territories, or APO/FPO addresses.

StevenfromNY, NY March 3rd, 2014I bought this for my 2.75 year old daughter and it is exactly what I hoped it would be. The blocks are crisply shaped and feel substantial. They are heavy and stay where they're put, even if placed a little precariously. :-)

There was a little splintered wood on one block when we opened the package, but I just brushed it away and that was the only notable imperfection I found. Also, initially the weight of the blocks made me a little nervous when they fell near my little girl, but she learned quickly that she needs to stay away from them when they fall and, really, the worst possible injury would be a small bruise, so I got over that concern.

In comparison to the Melissa and Doug blocks, these are heavier and more solid. The edges are crisper too, and I do love that they are completely untreated.

There are a lot of blocks, and the mix is good. Maybe when she is bigger we'll need more straight pieces to build larger structures, but at this age all the curves, triangles, and cylinders provide plenty for me to play with and lots of opportunities for her to experiment with placing the shape.

Elena August 30th, 2013These blocks are high quality, made in Germany. That's important because reviews for other Haba building blocks products mention they are made in China and of inferior quality. I found one block that scratched my skin slightly, but I think it's normal with an unfinsihed product, so I recommend you go through all the blocks to make sure all are smooth before letting a young child play with them.

I plan to buy another box. Some website online quoted that 200 blocks would last a child by age 5, so two of these boxes should be enough for years.

Michelle TreisnerfromWilmington January 14th, 2013We bought this set of blocks for our 10 month old daughter along with the HABA fantasy blocks. Although they were expensive we feel that it was worth spending every penny to get such high quality blocks. The blocks are solid and well cut. They are all a consistent size and there are no rough edges with splinters. The particular blocks that come in this set have enough variety that we have been able to come up with some very fun and creative compositions so far. Because our daughter is so young we did store the very smallest blocks for now, but she has a great time playing with the blocks that we have out for her. She knocks down our creations, bangs blocks together, hands blocks to us and occasionally tries to place a block on a tower herself. I see us playing with these for years.
